You see, in Salt Lake, one can measure a neighborhoods crime rate by the the distance/time away from West Valley it is. West Valley is the epicenter of all that is evil and it’s just a matter if the evil chooses your neighborhood that night.

The evidence, my best friends car was stolen at his condo by Trolley Square and was recovered in West Valley in the following condition.

Mihow, how close were you to Salt Lake? I’ve seen a ton o’ splattered deer in my day, some lunched elk in parley’s canyon, and even heard about a car full that DIED after they hit a moose in Big Cottonwood Canyon but I’ve yet to see many dead horses on the side of the road.

Knob. Tool. Smock?
GOD! I’m so old. My new favorite word/s is/are Makeshift Dickie.
(That’s when you can’t get one of those fake turtleneck things (a dickie)(heeheehee, dickie)and you have to fake it.)
Say it. Over and over. Say it in different ways. Like: makeshiftdickie, real fast. It’s, well, it’s funny to me.

The word pus gives me the creeps.

“I am as graceful as a hippo taking a shit.”

Having had the opportunity to witness this event (a hippo taking a shit) firsthand, I can attest to the fact that it is anything but graceful

I had to google Petra’s name. Does that make me GOOD or Clueless?

Metro:
You have a cute dog and a sexy pink guitar and don’t know who Petra is…you’re a keeper!

Oh, Geez. I must be channeling the spirit of Girl.A, ’cause I googled “pooka” and ended up here (I’m so ashamed I’m even posting this…):

Thanks Kristine. I’m playing the damn little guitar again today. Very poorly. If anyone else plays guitar, they should know about “http://www.olga.net/” (On-Line Guitar Archive, not porn by some chick named Olga.)

Nice shot Dooce.

You guys crack me up.. Seriously! I haven’t laughed this much in a very long time.

http://www.dooce.com Now no longer associated with pooka

I’m glad you guys are here today. Yesterday i’d try to make a funny and I got nothing. *crickets*

My superpowers of cracking-wise only work when my fellow wise crackers are around.

Dear, dear Amanda. You’ll always be associated with pooka to me.

http://www.dooce.com This might not be Amanda but rather Wayne Newton

DOH!

Damn. I forgot to change my URL back from the rhino-UBERpooka. How’s THAT for an associate you don’t want?

Carol

Great photograph and a beautiful scene.

Whenever I see a photograph of one of these in particular I always think “AFS” As those in the business of developing photographs know its the abbreviation for “Another fucking sunset”

holy crap, so that’s utah. who knew that an overpopulated family abundance state could be so dern purty?

shelli

wow. purty.

I cannot WAIT to see some pics of Petra Nemcova’s shattered pelvis in the next swimsuit issue. I think the pelvis gets in the way of “the procedure” anyway.

ashik

Wow – I left for two hours and come back to a full blown anatomy lesson.
Apparently “the thing that shall remain nameless and that I am forbidden to ever do to my boyfriend EVER again (it’s just not nice, honey)” has a name.
Pooka!!!! I love it!!

Amanda B. – ‘Moist’ is in my trilogy of despised words also! The other two are panties, and pork. The three can be combined in so many vile and interesting ways though (Pork my moist panties!) it almost makes it hard to hate them, but I do. *shudder*

Carol

“Nipple” used to be my word. Could never say it. Nevah! But then I had kids. Now, I can… nipple. See?

But, pus and fart are right up there, too.

I have to go shower now.

Carol

Oh, and the pretty sunset pic. That’s a nice view. Must be from someone’s house. Whose?

Carol

And I think I know who Wayne Newton is…right? Why so shy?

Taylor

You are very good for businesses. Nikon, Utah Travel Co., adopt-a-pet, boobah…you really should start asking for a share of the profit.

ohmigosh! I read the Chuck escape story and all of the terror of a similar experience came back to me–cold sweats and all. Nothing like a little PTSD to wake you up in the afternoon.

I love Chuck. I love that Chuck goes for the toilet paper. I would like to trade you one Chuck/”toilet paper celebration” experience for one chocolate lab/”thinking the kitty litter box is a personal candy dish” experience.

please let me know if you would like to trade.

Colleen from NJ

Hey Carol,
I, too, have a problem with “nipple” (eewwww).
Once, in college, the guy behind me in class found out about my fear and loathing of “nipple.” He kept saying it in my ear one time when I was experimenting with marijuana and state-dependent learning. (Class was on Thurs. pm. )I had to leave after 10 minutes.

I thought I was the only one with this problem.

Carol

Colleen – No, you are NOT alone.

But, and I missed the last week of comments, how did it go? I hope well.

Dooced Heather,

I am sorry about what I posted in the comment section.
I hadn’t yet read the comments from yesterday.

I now realize…the position…we and I all put you in.

Christy- I hear you darlin. But you may have just sent Scott over the edge. Good thing you didn’t mention mice.
